Skrooed!

Wide awake, sweat pours onto the sheet
Moonlight catches moisture as miniature stars swirl
The only thing left covered are my feet
I cower in bed as the nightmare fades and reality unfurls

The rancid depravation of a dream haunts my mind
Unlocks the door to a savage time
What is it that i feel, dirty, disgusting and somehow used
Even though I haven't left my room

A clicking in my ear shuts down the fragments of hell
And i return to conciousness with a sense of impending doom
A light appears at the end of the bed, glowing, clicking and ringing
like a bell
Shivering I attempt to move and escape my room

Instead the light draws me near, am i about to pass to the other
side
My legs kick at the light in an attempt to move away
Still I move forward, hesitating like the flowing of the tides
I can resist no more and wish I was in a dream of yesterday

The hot, fiery globe sucks on my life force, draining my
conciousness
I let it take me and through it I plunge, into the unknown
Then, darkness so dark you can feel it on your face
Envelops me and I fall screaming, into the void and down

All is quiet as my screams subside
Waving my arms, with nowhere to hide
Suddenly I stop, and everything is still
Within my head is the fear I feel

After a moment of transition I feel at peace
With all my fear suspended and completely released
Floating like a bird with no air in my wings
I start to relax and visualise certain things

At first i'm confused as to what it is I can see
Then the clarity improves and realise that it's me
A lot older than now and unhappy it appears
What has happened over all those years

A tired face glares at me with malice
Hatred burning in eyes like a furnace
Is this the future of me or a parallel time
Are forces at work that my life entwine

Then it changes, suddenly more obscure
Fading in and out like a letter through a door
Appearing in front of me a face of gold
Maybe an angel from stories of old

Wondering at this face, is it one that I have known
Then the feeling increases that I am not alone
Anxiety rises and I feel like i'm falling
Into what, i'm not sure but I hear someone calling

The voice is distant but known in my memory
A kind, loving voice that's saying my name to me
I give myself up to this powerful force
Give in to the love without a trace of a pause

Guided by light I feel the warmth of home
And then I realise why I wasn't alone
I was saved from torment and endless pain
By the one who has saved me, again and again

The one that saves you won't always show their face because in order to
save you they must be anonymous......this does not mean they don't love
you.
